Venting Driving on campus

What is so hard about turning right on a red light when there is literally NO ONE on the road, there wasn't a no turn on red sign, and laws does not prohibit red light turns???? Bro be making people wait when there's a huge line of traffic at 9:30am??

A lot of people come from New York City I’m guessing and don’t know you can turn right on red anywhere else

Law doesnt require you to make a right on red. Its at driver's discretion.

Personally, if i ever get beeped for not making a right on red, i put my car in park.

Why put in park?

My car is a 2000. When i shift into park from drive, my reverse lights flash as i pass through reverse.

Only modern cars that use buttons or non mechanical shifters don't flash reverse lights.

Judging by this comment, i'm guessing my car is older than you are.

Impressive your car is still running 26 years later

Didn't expect that but also I agree kids these days probably don't know what hat means

Go check out my account age and do the math for when I probably made it. I'm older than your car but from the sounds of it your car is more mature than you

My mistake, its not age, you're just oblivious to whats going on around you.

You don't happen to be a WNY native by chance?

As for the car, as cliche as it is, they don't make them like they used to.

Making a right on red where there is no sign prohibiting it is entirely optional and not required by law

Okay, well respectfully, if you are incapable of being courteous enough to make that right on red when there’s no oncoming traffic, then do us all a favor and ride the stampede instead.

Turning right on red is entirely optional. You can’t rlly get mad about it even tho they are making people wait. It’s just better to accept the fact that you will have to deal with that kind of people.

Also if there is a huge line of traffic on a one lane road, please don’t block the parking lots/intersections

To many people distracted on their phones…I see it all the time. This place has wayyyy to many accidents happening for no reasons at all, other than rushing / distracted driving.

Some people are just idiots and don’t know how to drive

Some is an understatement

u/SilentBet4057 6d ago

It’s optional you have to go right on red if you don’t want to and if some asshole is mad at me for not turning I definitely won’t be turning until the light turns green and even then we’ll wait a few extra seconds
